REFURBISHMENT IS WELL UNDERWAY!
The underfloor heating, new polished concrete flooring, new toilets, including an accessible toilet, and a baby-change area are now in place.
The Cafe and kitchen are being fitted this week. The next phase will be to install children's soft-play equipment.
The refurbishment of the church building started July 2020, and is well underway and on track, however, we are running slightly low on funds and need help! And this is where you can play your part in helping create an amazing vision for our community.
A HUGE thank you to Allchurches Trust for the grant towards our work at St. Margaret's. We are so grateful to them, and to God, for their generosity!
